The Technical World is booming. If one is busy with no work then he might be using a Smartphone and using some social apps. Yes, this is obviously true; people love to spend time on social media. They post almost everything on their social media account from hanging out to working somewhere. This leads a lot of businesses and industries are using social media to promote their brands as the whole population is available there. So we all know the social media has become an important aspect of our life. It demands Advanced App Development Services. Though we all know there are some pre-designed apps available on app store, but there is a great scope for improvement.

As an influence, coding skills are in great demand, with programming jobs paying importantly more than the average ones. Even besides technical world if someone adds a skill with any of the programming languages makes an additional strength to any resume. There is a great need of a good programmer if one is going to design social media and its formats for promotions.

Here I am going to discuss some programming languages that are highly useful for Social networks. Just take a look at it.

1. PHP

PHP is a very powerful programming language and very popular tool among websites designing to create dynamic and interactive web pages. According to studies, PHP is used by more than 80% of all the websites whose server-side programming language is known. It is totally out-of- box social networking software.

As major social Medias like FB, Pinterest opts PHP. And now facebook started off as a PHP website. And nowadays Facebook is also using Hack which is a customized dialect of PHP. Some other Social Medias like Vkontakte, also build its own PHP version -KPHP in order to improve the performance of their website. And it is much productive than HACK.

2. Java

This language is usually chosen by the Expert Development Company who aim to draw high-traffic websites which really needs to grow. And the main reason to pick this language is to provide speeds to websites. As it is a platform-independent due to JVM( Java Virtual Machine), does not need a compiler to become readable on any platform.

One more obvious thing that makes java advantageous for social sites developers is its great development ecosystem. There is a big community of developers and as a result, it can boast excellent documentations.

3. Perl

Perl is a high-level language created to be smooth and fast to write and run, it was developed about three decades ago, but it became very useful for web programming when developers began to use it to create dynamic web pages. As PHP is on the peak, this language has been losing ground.

4. Python

This programming language is an easy, responsive and potential general purpose language that is excellent for web development. This is used by such online properties as Pinterest, Reddit, Tumbler, Youtube etc. However, this language handles only the back-end of the social network. We have to perform front- end part in different ones.

5. .NET

Relianttekk

It is not a programming language, this is a framework is worth being included in the list. And nowadays it has become very demanding given support offered by Microsoft, its developer. Some of the biggest social sites were created using it. Big social giants like Fb would choose .NET for their websites if they were developed in the days of today. The framework continues to develop and it has a large community which offers sound support to all its members and it is very friendly to beginners.
